An equal partnership is formed by rita and gerry. rita contributes cash of $10,000 and a building with a fair market value of $150,000, adjusted basis of $55,000, and subject to a liability of $60,000. gerry contributes cash of $100,000. what is rita's basis in her partnership interest immediately after formation of the partnership?

Rita's basis in her partnership interest is $35000

Explanation:

given data

cash = $10,000

fair market value = $150,000

adjusted basis = $55,000

liability = $60,000

to find out

Rita's basis in her partnership interest

solution

we know both Rita and Gerry half of total liability

we get here 50% share on debt that is

50% share on debt = 50% × liability

50% share on debt = 0.50 × $60,000

50% share on debt = $30000

so basis on interest is here as

basis on interest = cash + adjusted basis - 50% share on debt

basis on interest = $10000 +  $55000 - $30000

basis on interest = $35000

im thinking a but im not 100% sure
